Don’t forget the overall costs to society from excessive taxation to fund the special education requirements, the pensions for the highest density of teachers in the system, and most often overlooked - the loss of revenues from kids who may have grown up to be more productive if they had not been classified as ADHD by greedy/lazy parents and helpless teachers.

ADHD is a progressive dream - government assistance, more unionized teachers, more “disabled”, more government bureaucrats in social services, and future rat voters.

I am also very concerned about the consequences of “big pharma” and modern medicine treating these kids with drugs that may permanently change the chemistry of the brain during development. I don’t anyone understands the true consequences of this.

I have been asking for over 20 years for someone to rationally explain to me why the parent of a “hyperactive” kid deserves a social security disability check. How is it more expensive?

Oh, maybe a piece of worthless trash like Saddam Hussein Obama gets elected president twice?
